Shino-chan can't say her own name. She made the first friend after entering high school. Communication full of clumsiness begins. They always find right words belatedly. But the Seishun can even turn a klutz into a star...or not?

First, the author reveals in the afterword that he himself had the same problem as Shino-chan's stutter, and that his own experience, which is apprently ongoing in a less degree, helped create the plot for this manga.

Second, we will never know what happened to Shino and co. in her high school years. We will never know whom she's married to, or if she's married to Kikuchi ( his last name is not revealed, but the way Shino and Kano address Kikuchi implies it's his last name, though we can't completely rull out it's his first name ).

But all we know is that she must have enjoyed her high school life with great friends who understood and embraced her despite her stuttering. That she has a loving husband and a lovely daughter.

Last but not the least, we know she hasn't overcome her weakness, but she's come to accept it as part of her life, and learn living with it just fine, relying on others in times of need. Like, you don't always have to be a winner to live a good life.

I sincerely wish Shino-chan, and others who suffer from the same problem in RL good luck.
